Winner and a Sad Goodbye

Hello friends!

I hope this blog post finds you having a wonderful Sunday. It is with a sad and heavy heart that I say we are closing the Sparkle & Shine Challenge. It was a very hard decision to make but one that I know needed to be done. For those of you that don't know, my husband passed away in January and since then my life has been a whirl wind of craziness. I have tried my best to keep up with everything that life throws at me but I have been unsuccessful in doing so.

I am so grateful for every part that someone has played in making this challenge so successful. It takes a lot to fun a blog and I couldn't have done it without the friends that helped me start it to the ones that agreed to be on the design team and keep it going every two weeks.

I am also thankful for the amazing sponsors that we had during our time as they are what helped make this challenge very successful. If I ever find the time again to come back, I will.

Last but not least, thank you to everyone that participated during each challenge. All of your creations were stunning and so inspirational. I loved looking at each of them and being mesmerized by how each of you interpreted the challenge. So much talent out there these days!

So without further wait, I will announce the very last winner for the gift card to the Create a Smile online store.

Dear Angel, my thoughts and prayers for you and family. God will give you strenght, comfort and wisdom to continue the journey. Thank you for the amazing challenges here that inspired so many of us. HUGS!

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.I'm surprised that you kept the blog going this long. Thanks for all of your commitment and inspiration. I only participated 1 or 2 times, but I enjoyed visiting this challenge blog. God bless you and your family as you heal.
